There are lots of reasons to pick up a book. Maybe you’re in the mood for an escape from your everyday routine. Maybe you are confused and thought the book in question was the hollowed-out one where you store your bathtub gin, because you think it’s still prohibition (nice fedora, by the way).
But more often than not, we read to learn something, even if all we learn is what happens when a human falls in love with a vampire. This is a good thing, because the more you know, the longer you live, especially if you know things like how to escape from drunken bears. If you’re looking to be both entertained AND enlightened, here are 7 books guaranteed to make you a little bit smarter.
